Thanks for featuring me!

I got a note today from FedEx asking me to drive to their depot to pick up a package I'd ordered. Only. My car isn't working and I'm using Mr. A's today. I reeeeally have to work on my dissertation. And the people who sent the package messed up, since I didn't ask for delivery confirmation. Why should I spend an hour fixing their mess?

I did initially consider making the treck rather than pushing it back into their court. But come on... I'm not The Daily Asker for nothing. Here was my email:

Hi Cheryl,

I received a notice today from FedEx saying they tried to drop off a diploma atmy house. I am not there, and my car is currently in the shop. That means Iwon't be able to pick it up!

I spoke to someone at their office, a customer service representative named PatXxxxxx, who told me that if you call and remove the signature requirement,they can deliver it again and leave it at my door.
